Garry Winogrand San Francisco 1964

The story behind…

Universally nostalgic, Julia Campisi uses this photograph to illustrate the shared adolescence of humanity. One can feel the heat of a hot, summer day in this black and white collage as we all reminisce about our last milkshake.

About Julia Campisi:

Julia Campisi is a photo based and collage artist born and bred in Toronto, Canada. She finished her BA in Political Science but felt like something was missing. At the time her roommates were art majors and she began to do their class assignments for fun. This then turned into a passion and two years after graduating from McMaster University she decided to go back to school and learn about photography. From the beginning of her interest in this medium she would take apart the elements of a photograph, which slowly started to move into collage work. Her desire to deconstruct existing images from the past comes from her need to understand the photograph as an object and photography's relationship to our culture today.
